Re: Picked up a four eyed patina truck.
[QUOTE=special-K;2846818."Why do they make two trucks the same when GMC already makes one?"(just a little fact that people managed to flip around backwards over the years)[/QUOTE]
Are you trying to tell me that they made GMC's first? I don't think so.

Actually......Yeah! Max Grabowski started building trucks under the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in 1902. This was later bought by GM in 1908 and starting in 1912 the trucks were marketed as GMC's. Last I recall Louis Chevrolet and Billy Durant didn't start the Chevrolet Motor Company until 1918.

Re: Picked up a four eyed patina truck.
I'm no expert,but the arm on the p.s. canister is 68 only IMO. I've never seen them on the other years,unless it had been swapped out.
